Chapter 3443: Increased Difficulty

Ye Liuyun and Chen Yueying also stopped thinking about Qi Shengyu's matters and began studying this mission.

"This mission is to kill the blood fox known as the 'Butcher King', which is a standard inner sect disciple task, usually completed by a group working together. We are only two, so we are at a slight disadvantage in numbers," Chen Yueying said to Ye Liuyun.

"The number of people isn't the main issue; if needed, I have seven or eight others available within my Space World, and I also have a Golden Dragon Kuailei. As long as I'm not forced to face too many dangers at once, I should be able to handle it."

Ye Liuyun was referring to the six followers of Qi Shengyu he previously captured, as well as Chen Xiang, Meng Yunshan and others.

In fact, within his Space World there are already hundreds of Demon Race soldiers and some Death Legion troops, who have broken through into the Taixu realm, are restoring their bodies and adapting to the pressure of the Taixu World.

These people can become his support in the future. But Ye Liuyun also faces considerable pressure; so many need to cultivate, and the resource shortfall is significant.

After speaking, Ye Liuyun released an inner sect disciple he had captured and assigned him to pilot the Flying Boat.

"You really know how to make use of waste!" Chen Yueying laughed.

Ye Liuyun explained, "This way doesn't delay our cultivation."

"Fine, you're so eager to cultivate! I'll cultivate too!" Chen Yueying complained, but also thought that Ye Liuyun's habit of squeezing every moment for cultivation was why his strength would soon surpass hers, so she immediately began cultivating alongside him.

Ye Liuyun still focused on body refining, interspersed with cultivating Divine Core. Although he was eager to advance his realm, he placed greater emphasis on the quality of the Divine Core, constantly condensing it.

Then he fought other practice targets, both consuming Divine Core and tempering his Physical Body, then recovered. He would not breakthrough until he could no longer suppress his realm.

When not fighting, his Divine Core also rotated within his body, slowly increasing in quality. This is essentially equivalent to him cultivating nonstop each day, so the effect is certainly much faster than others, and the Divine Core's quality is much higher.

The effect of his fused duplicates also gradually manifested. After the three individuals' powers merged, it was far more than the simple sum of three, which is why he could defeat a Taixu Fourth Rank Martial Cultivator.

His Divine Sense's detection range had expanded to thirty li, and he was becoming increasingly adapted to the Taixu World. In ordinary battles, he no longer felt the pressure of the Taixu World.

During the several days on the road, he continuously absorbed the essence from the tempering liquid into his Physical Body, so when they arrived, he felt even lighter all over.

"Why does it seem like you've changed again?" Chen Yueying immediately noticed that Ye Liuyun had changed, but couldn't tell which aspect of his strength had increased.

"I'm just more adapted to the Taixu World environment; my body no longer feels that heavy pressure!" Ye Liuyun explained.

They retrieved the Flying Boat, and the disciple who piloted it was not sent back to the Space World by Ye Liuyun; instead, he was sent ahead to scout for them.

Their target this time, on another planet, was a blood fox beast. This blood fox bears the title 'Butcher King', indicating it has killed and ravaged many people.

Moreover, when Ye Liuyun reached the outskirts of the mountain range, he smelled a strong scent of blood, estimating that the blood fox's Bloodline Power was certainly strong, likely far surpassing its own realm.

Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense, but still didn't see the blood fox, so he ordered the disciple to advance into the mountain's depths, creating a distance of over twenty li between them.

Chen Yueying also wrinkled her nose, disliking the blood scent, but still followed Ye Liuyun.

The mountain was silent, not a sound at all. She guessed that the beasts here had long been slain by that blood fox.

They walked for half a day without spotting a single living creature; the mountain's quiet made them somewhat uneasy.

"Master, there's a battle disturbance ahead!"

At that moment, the scouting disciple ahead transmitted the information to Ye Liuyun.

"Go check it out," Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the disciple to go and investigate.

But when the disciple arrived

he only saw two Martial Cultivator corpses on the ground, both dressed in their Qianling Sect robes. They were desiccated, yet the surfaces were covered with fresh dried blood stains, with no wounds.

"It's a bit different from the Red Lotus; the Red Lotus absorbs a person's blood qi, but this blood fox seems to absorb even the blood itself,"

Ye Liuyun speculated internally, ordered the disciple to keep scouting forward, and he and Chen Yueying slightly increased their pace to rush over and verify the condition of the corpses.

Seeing the emaciated, tragic state of the corpses, Chen Yueying didn't dare approach.

Ye Liuyun didn't need to get close; by activating his Golden Pupil he could already see that the blood inside the corpses had been sucked dry. However, he guessed that the blood fox didn't have enough time in combat, so some blood remained on the bodies' surfaces.

The Storage Rings were still there. They were probably left because those people were busy chasing the blood fox and hadn't retrieved them. He simply pulled them over and found the resources inside were all intact.

"Inner sect disciples of the Qianling Sect are really wealthy!"

Ye Liuyun said as he divided the resources into two portions, giving one to Chen Yueying.

"You keep it; I don't need these resources!" Chen Yueying didn't take it, intending to give everything to Ye Liuyun.

"That won't do; after all we completed the mission together. If I don't give you half, I'd feel uneasy. Being able to do the mission with you is already great, so the resources must be split half for you!"

Ye Liuyun insisted on giving her, warning that otherwise he wouldn't team up with her for future missions, so Chen Yueying finally accepted.

"These two were both at the Taixu Fourth Rank realm; they probably didn't even realize they had been caught in the Dao. The difficulty of this mission has indeed increased considerably.

If you encounter the blood fox, launch your strongest attack immediately, including Spiritual Soul Attack; never hesitate. Don't think of using Bloodline Power to contend with it—we're no match for it…"

Since Ye Liuyun had the Red Lotus nearby and knew that ordinary people couldn't resist its absorption, he gave Chen Yueying a reminder.

But before Ye Liuyun could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, because his Divine Sense detected a blood‑colored fox already approaching the scouting disciple he had sent.

"Withdraw immediately!"

Ye Liuyun instantly used the Slave Seal to command the disciple. The disciple also turned and fled back desperately.

The blood fox chased for a while, then suddenly sensed Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detection, stopped immediately, hesitated, and then turned and ran away.

"What's happening?" Chen Yueying's Divine Sense couldn't reach that far, so she didn't know what was going on.

"I've spotted the blood fox, chase after me!"

Ye Liuyun said to Chen Yueying and then pursued the blood fox. He also ordered the disciple to stop and follow the blood fox from a distance.

The blood fox couldn't detect Ye Liuyun, but could sense the nearby disciple, stopping several times to try to kill him. Whenever it stopped, Ye Liuyun made the disciple retreat; the Huo Hu had no way to catch him, so it could only let him follow temporarily.
